sleepy_penguin - Linux I/O events for Ruby

sleepy_penguin provides access to newer, Linux-only system calls to wait on events from traditionally non-I/O sources. Bindings to the eventfd, timerfd, inotify, and epoll interfaces are provided. Experimental support for kqueue on FreeBSD (and likely OpenBSD/NetBSD) is also provided.
